In brief — for a quick understanding
Rehabilitation ('rehab') helps people recover function, movement and independence after illness, injury or surgery — including after a stroke, heart surgery, joint replacement or neurological conditions. Programmes are structured and supervised by therapists, and can include prosthetics and orthotics. India offers high-quality, affordable rehabilitation, often combined with medical treatment.
Overview & who it's for
Rehabilitation restores strength, mobility and independence through supervised physiotherapy, occupational therapy and related programmes. It is a key part of recovery after strokes, heart surgery, joint replacement, spinal or neurological conditions, and sports injuries.
Programmes are tailored to each person's goals and can be inpatient (staying at a rehab facility) or outpatient. India also provides prosthetics (artificial limbs) and orthotics (supportive devices) at low cost.
You may be a candidate if you have:
- Stroke survivors needing recovery of movement and speech
- People recovering from heart surgery (cardiac rehab)
- Patients after joint replacement or orthopedic surgery
- Those with neurological conditions or injuries
- People needing prosthetics or orthotics

Legal & regulatory formalities
This specialty involves standard medical-travel formalities rather than special organ-transplant law:
- A medical visa (e-Medical Visa, available for 170+ countries) for you and an accompanying attendant, with a hospital invitation letter.
- Written informed consent for the specific procedure and any anaesthesia.
- Bringing your medical records, prior test results and current medicine list.
- No special organ/tissue legislation applies (organ transplants are governed separately under India's transplant law).
Important: Requirements are routine — confirm current visa rules and documentation with the hospital before you travel.
